The chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Nové Hraběcí is a chapel in Romanesque Revival- built in 1867 by locals. This modest but historically important structure, located on the outskirts of Nové Hraběcí in the village of Šluknov, represents a community spirit and cultural heritage from the mid-19th century. The chapel is remarkable for its role during Marian holidays and reflects the interest of the period in historical revival movements.
Chapel The Ascension was built in 1867 with funds obtained from public collections and municipal contributions and was built by locals who tried to create a place of worship for their spiritual needs. During this time, the Czechs, part of the Austrian Empire, experienced a cultural and architectural revival that affected the style of the Romanesque Revival Chapel, causing historical architectural forms.
Architecturally, the chapel has an elongated plan with a semi-circular apside at one end.

Despite these changes, the chapel retains the elements of its original proposal, but now requires a comprehensive renewal.

In 1868, a year after the construction, a bell was made for the chapel from Kleinwell's bell shop for the price of 18 players. This addition marked an important improvement in the function of the chapel as a community religious place. Over time, however, she lost most of her original equipment and equipment, including this bell.
Today, the Chapel of Ascension needs a significant renewal. His facade is scratched, and many of the original features are missing. Despite these challenges, the chapel remains an important cultural monument within the region. Visitors can appreciate its historical importance and architectural style, reflecting the period when communities joined together to create lasting symbols of faith.
